One of the worst officiated Final 4 games in quite a while

I had no dog in the fight so I watched that Syracuse/Michigan game unbiased. Those refs were bad. It was almost like watching the NBA with no walks being called, charges that were not called and blocks that were called charges. That game was a mess.

It sucks because it was so inconsistent. Touch file one time, then gang rape in the lane, no call. Dammit it's tough to watch if you don't really give a shite about the teams. And that block on Cuse late was just a bad call. It was either a charge or a no call.

Yea, the Michigan player clearly established position. I don't think anyone is really completely stationary when taking a charge. The Cuse player was way out if control though. I think that had more to do with the call than the Michigan player's position.

The blocking call I was talking about on cuse was the one at midcourt when the offensive player stuck out his arm and bowled over carter-williams with about 1:40 left, score was 53-49. Even though Carter-Williams didn't do shite on offense, Cuse's pressure was rattling Michigan. It was a huge call and it was terrible.
